Just cause im bored: Big XII expansion

Hooray offseason!

OU
OSU
Tech
Baylor
Fresno
SDSU

Texas
A&M
Missouri
Iowa State
Kansas
Kansas State

Adds the 26 & 55th tv markets which would increase Tier 1 deal, entry for California recruiting, balances out the power by splitting the former South schools up.Can maintain cross division games by declaration. Potential for RRS rematches in CCG ( which would demand a steep steep payout for TV)

& just cause im elitest name the western division : "Switzerland" & The eastern "Royal with cheese"

I am so sleepy

Boom, what do you think the chances are of us getting back to 12 teams? Presumably good since we kept the name, right? I like your setup but I'm wondering if California teams pose a logistical issue for us poorer teams? Maybe not more so than LVille or BYU but as you say it's about TV and California gets TV sets. I wouldn't mind seeing BYU supplant Fresno but keeping SD.

Re: Just cause im bored: Big XII expansion

I like the idea of going for broke and offering Arizona and Arizona State. The Big 12 is looking like they will get a better TV deal with 10 schools compared to the PAC-12. The Arizona schools have decent basketball programs, decent baseball programs, and AZ State has a wrestling program that could use a serious boost by moving to the Big 12. Also, the Big 12 partnership with the Fiesta Bowl & Insight Bowl could increase local attendence for those post-season games, as well as serve as sites for a Conference Championship Game (rotate between K.C., Dallas, Glendale, etc.)

If Texas were to participate in any conference restructuring, I would think that the "less prominent" (for lack of a better term) BCS schools would at least discuss the possibility of joining the Big 12 - assuming the $$$ was right.

Re: Just cause im bored: Big XII expansion

I think we should add Louisville and BYU as well. I would like to see Oklahoma and Oklahoma State come to the north with guarantee rival games with a south team every year so that Oklahoma and Texas still play every season.

I've had similar thoughts as well. Louisville for sure, either BYU or Air Force to reclaim some of Colorado if they carry many TVs in that area?
